Harrell powder measure??

[Shooter32]

Does anyone know if you need 50 clicks of N133 on a Harrell powder measure how many grains would that be? I need to covert that load so i can try it .

Time you bought a powder scale even a cheap LEE one would tell you how many grains you had.Or one of the cheap digital ones.

Never ever go by clicks. Depending on a particular lot of powder, it's density, and environmental conditions such as humidity govern how many clicks to a given charge. For example my Harrell's may throw 31.0 grains of Varget at 57 clicks but the same 57 clicks on your Harrell's with your particular lot of Varget may throw 32.0 grains. This dosen't even take in consideration that one lot may be faster or slower than another.
A lot of times you hear benchrest shooters talking in clicks. This means nothing, what a given powder charge weighs is what you really need to know.
If you're anywhere near a maximum charge you should weigh every charge you throw regardless of what measure you use.

Hello!! Aussie Bob I have three powder scales including a digital scale what i dont have is a Harrell powder measure and i read about a load and it said to use 50 clicks on a Harrell powder measure and i wanted to try the load and was needing to know how many grains that it was !!

Just dropped 5 consecutive charges at 50 clicks, came to 26.1 grs every time. This is from an 05' lot and as someone posted earlier, it will change from lot to lot.

It all becomes clear now.
I don`t go by clicks on the Harrells anyway i get it throwing the weight i want by throw and weigh method then i throw a few so that i am sure its all settled then throw the loads into the cases usually check 1 in 10 just to be sure.
